On Stop 2 of our Atlanta tour, @thetransmitter.bsky.social visited the Georgia Institute of Technology to share more about our articles and resources. Thank you so much to Institute for Neuroscience, Neurotechnology, and Society for hosting us!

In the second story out today, @thetransmitter.bsky.social asked 17 neuroscientists what questions could remain unanswered if support for nonhuman primate research continues to decline. Their answers span cognition and other subfields.

The first story tracks the history and role of the U.S. national primate research centers. After decades of flat funding, and amid mounting political pressure, their directors are trying to find a path forward.

For this new series, @thetransmitter.bsky.social evaluated whether neuroscience still needs nonhuman primates & if alternative models are ready to replace them. Over the next few weeks, four articles will detail what we found—and what the loss of nonhuman primate research would mean.

A new preprint identifies 253 genes containing de novo autism-linked variants among exome sequences from 62,429 autistic people. And some 25 percent of autism-linked genes remain undiscovered, the investigators found.

In this episode of @braininspired.bsky.social, @mraginsky.bsky.social draws on control theory, engineering and philosophy to explore what makes biological brains intelligent, what AI is missing, and what principles underlie biological autonomy. #neuroskyence

The platform combines two-photon optogenetic holography with wide field mesoscopy, which had not been done before. #neuroskyence

Thank you to Morehouse School of Medicine’s Neuroscience Institute for hosting @thetransmitter.bsky.social. We enjoyed meeting your team members and sharing some of The Transmitter’s offerings.

@susanacarmona.bsky.social talks with @franciscorr25.bsky.social about her new book, “A Mother’s Brain,” the moments in her career that led her to study the neuroscience of motherhood and the major questions the field still needs to address. #neuroskyence

@dddavi.bsky.social's lab took the 21 million images that led to the connectome of a fruit fly brain. Now he plans to use a $19 million grant to apply “this high-throughput flashlight across all areas of biology.” Read our interview with Bock: bit.ly/4B9RiFp

@deisseroth.bsky.social, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel won a Nobel Prize today for their contributions to optogenetics. We asked eight neuroscientists how the technique has transformed the field.

Great summary of our paper with @mark-j-wagner.bsky.social

My latest story for @thetransmitter.bsky.social looks at a study of 17 autism mouse models that found two opposing patterns of gene activity in the prefrontal cortex — another hint that very different genetic variants may converge on shared biology.

Neuroscientists highlighted optogenetics as one of the field’s most transformative tools of the past five years, according to @thetransmitter.bsky.social’s 2025 survey: www.thetransmitter.org/methods/what...

The 2026 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine recognizes @deisseroth.bsky.social, Peter Hegemann, and Georg Nagel for developing optogenetics—read more about this transformative technique and its applications in @thetransmitter.bsky.social’s archive:

One path toward AI safety, then, is to take a page from evolution and find a way to install caring so that it retains leverage over knowing. #neuroskyence #neuroAI

In some settings, neural circuits may calculate confidence in a decision simultaneously with the choice itself, writes @arielzylberberg.bsky.social. That changes the types of questions researchers should ask. #neuroskyence
